A pair of Brooklyn men accused of passing phony $20 bills in Clarkstown made it easy for police to arrest them when they came into headquarters to visit a buddy who'd just been jailed for doing the same thing.

Two of the suspects were accused Wednesday night of buying food at Wendy's in Nanuet with counterfeit $20 bills, police said Friday. Their friend had been arrested hours earlier on accusations of buying a vacuum cleaner at Target in the Palisades Center with phony $20 bills, police said.
